She left before she’d even walked inShe must’ve seen that id been drinkingShe used to stand alone at the bar back thenIt’s good to understand who you are
She used to be the talk of the townI had her down as nobody’s clownYou’d question why she wasn’t with him, butShe weren’t the type you’d make wait around
You’d give a bit of somethingShe’d fill you up with nothing(And) somehow, you’d still feel you were freeShe’d let you fall in too deep
She made me in ways that others haven’tAnd played me, somehow while this happenedShe’d still save meCrying while I’m laughing again
She'd let you hang on every last wordAnd act as if it’s safe when it weren’tShe’d sit you at the front of the class andShe'd act like she’s surprised you ain’t passed
She'd give a little somethingAnd act as if it’s nothingAnd somehow you’d be happy it’s freeHow could it happen to me?

(You) told me not to callBuilt yourself a wallI’d always thought you knew the scoreBut you don’t seem to anymore
And I sold my soulYou’d turned it coldDespite what you may sayI know one day I’ll get you
One of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get youOne of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get you
You said you’d never change your mindYou were far too scared to tryYou shouted at me through the tears“We’ve been friends for far too many years”
And I fell for youAnd you felt it tooAnd that I won’t forgetMy life I’d bet, I’ll get you
One of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get youOne of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get you
And though I know
It’s gonna take some timeFor you to agreeAnd see, it’s the truthYou’ll say I weren’t scared before ‘cosIf there was one thing I was sure of, I knewI’d get you
One of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get youOne of these daysI’ll get you, I’ll get youOne of these days….

You took all I’d hoped for and wantedI wasn’t even treated to goodbyeBefore you went you came you saw you conqueredAnd I’ve got nothing left but a memory of your best
I tried to tell you that I loved youYou struggled hard for a replyI should’ve known my words had never really touched you
Despite yours always seeming to relate to mine
Your words cut me deep left me struggling to sleep
Compared to the content the tone didn’t matterYou lied through your teeth as I was struggling to speakDespite our wicked past I’d still happily have you
You taught me a thing or two about heartbreakMore than I was ever meant to learnYou’d have a habit of pulling me down until I cant ache, no moreAnd when that happened you’d let me burn
Your traits good and bad are the most exciting that I haveEver witnessed heard of or acknowledgedI wish I was mad for the fact you hurt me badThat just isn’t me if I’m being honest
I wish I was stronger than I have beenI wish you saw my weakness as a strengthI wish you’d have somehow just been happy with me for being meI wish I didn’t miss youI wish I could resist youI wish I didn’t wish this wouldn’t end

If I could act

And make the clocks go back
Although my odds are stacked
I’d be with you
I was younger then,

I’ve learnt a thing or two since
I’m more experienced
But so are you

In spite of me,

You
always tried to see

The honest guy in me
You thought you knew
I wish you’d like to see
The brand new side of me
That only I can see
But you should too

And all the things I felt I didn’t want before
That I missed when you left me
I knew I didn’t need you then but now I’m really not so sure
And I helped you forget me

I miss the way

You’d tell me every day
That you would never stray
Or treat me cold
But the mess I made
It led to change
We went our separate ways
And it’s all my fault

I’d let you down
Give you the mess around
Since you I’ve never found
One better for me
Right here and now
I wear the tears of a clown
Wish you were here in town
But that can’t be

And I was too busy believing what I was told to believe

But I ain’t since I lost you
They told me love just led to heartbreak
And taught me that one add one makes three
But I’ve learnt what it can cost you

And it’s strange but it’s true
I didn’t know quite what I needed
But now I’m pretty sure I do
Because I thought it through
Took a look in the mirror
I was just a beginner
I was just a beginner when I met you

I knew I didn’t need you then but now I’m really not so sure
And I helped you forget me
Yeah I helped you forget me
But it’s your fault,

You let me

Sitting on my ownWaiting for your callNo one else to phoneI miss youI miss you
And I hate the wayMy heart would breakEvery time I watch you walk away
And that’ll never changeUntil the day that I die
You left me in the coldIt rained outside your homeHow was I to knowI’d miss youI miss you
I wish that you were nearBut you're there with him, not hereI’m all out of tears
I miss youI miss you
And I hate the wayMy heart would breakEvery time I watch you walk away
And that’ll never changeUntil the day that I dieAnd I love the wayYou look todayYou do it every timeSomehow, you look even better when you’re not mineSomehow, you look even better when you’re not mineSomehow, you look even better when you’re not mine

We lived the dream
And the air was as clean as it could beMy heart raced faster as I triedTo hide the fact I was alive
Why can’t the world fall at our feet?Why do I stumble over words I want to speak?Why do I feel butterflies every time we meet?
My love for you

blossomed all through the yearI could picture us together, close when you weren’t near
And we were as happy as could beAnd we were laughing contently
My heart raced faster as I triedTo hide the fact I was alive
Why can’t the world fall at our feet?Why do I stumble over words I want to speak?Why do I feel butterflies every time we meet?
But in truth I’m never gonna have the strength toTalk to you, what if you don’t want me to?
Why can’t the world fall at our feet?Why do I stumble over words I want to speak?Why do I feel butterflies every time we meet?Why can’t the world fall at our feet?Why do I stumble over words I want to speak?Why do I feel butterflies every time we meet?

Like a man who’s got nothing left to loseNot a penny but everything to proveLike a man on the edgeWho wishes that she had never left
Running in a circle to tie up ends still looseTryna pull his neck from out the nooseAnd win back her respectBut he’s not looking his best
When it all breaks downIt all breaks down, downDown
He can’t bare to consider someone newWhiskey and cigarettes won’t see him throughSays that he’s got a planHolding on as tight as he can
She played him for a foolBut he taught her toShe’s only ever happy
When it all breaks downIt all breaks down, downDown
She was trouble from the very startShe had a knack of tearing hearts apartNo one knows where it endsHe’s tryna not be nobody’s friend
And it all breaks downIt all breaks down, downDown
